Absolutely worth it!

I hired Julie for day of coordination, and got so much more from her!! Anytime during the planning process, she was there to help guide me when I felt stuck. She was so great with communication and response time to my emails, and had many great resources. Month of the wedding, she was very on top of it and helped me work out every little detail, one's I wouldn't have even thought of without her help!
She sent one of her coordinators, Yoly, to run our rehearsal and the wedding, and Yoly was very kind, flexible and professional! She was very timely, and the wedding ran so smoothly thanks to her! I actually got to soak in the events and enjoy myself since Yoly was so on it and making sure everything was getting done properly!
I HIGHLY recommend them! They will make sure your day is extra special!!

Amazing 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Julie was truly the backbone of our wedding day, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she stepped in as our day-of coordinator, she brought a sense of calm, organization, and confidence that allowed us to fully enjoy every second of our special day.

She handled every detail seamlessly—keeping the timeline on track, coordinating with vendors, and making sure everything ran exactly as planned (if not better!). Anytime a question or small hiccup came up, Julie was already one step ahead, handling it with professionalism and ease before we even knew about it.

What stood out the most was her genuine care and dedication. She wasn’t just doing a job—she was fully invested in making our wedding perfect. Her positive energy, attention to detail, and ability to keep everything flowing smoothly made all the difference.

Exceptional!!

Julie was Exceptional. We thought we had all of the details put in place and then your wedding day hits and it feels like chaos. We would not have had the day we had without Julie helping keep all of the vendors organized and us on schedule. She was on point, detail oriented, and was very good with communication and follow through. Huge Thanks!!

Amazing Wedding Planner Service in San Diego

From the minute we signed our contract with Julie at The Best Wedding For You, she was extremely helpful and took a load off our shoulders for planning our wedding. She setup calls for us with DJs and florists and even joined a couple of the florist calls to help us communicate our vision clearly. In the approaching weeks and months up to our wedding, she was extremely detail oriented and provided us with a detailed list of all possible considerations leading up to our wedding, from invites to honeymoon planning! She also took the reigns with coordination between our venue, The San Diego Safari Park, and all our vendors, so that we could focus on other aspects of our big day.

The Best Wedding for Us

Julie came into our wedding preparation life after I had to let go of our first wedding planner (and let’s just say my spirits were low and some funds were already lost to paying our first vendor who was not a good fit to put it nicely). The universe had thrown us our saving grace in getting Julie as once she was onboard everything fell into place seamlessly. She was born to be planner. Organized, efficient, positive, calm, prepared and professional, Julie helped us achieve the most magical day that we will look back on with fondness for the rest of our lives. We had zero hiccups day of the event and that was thanks to Julie. She handles everything with such grace that even if things were starting to go off track you wouldn’t know as Julie resolves any issues as they arrive like a stealth ninja.  Mind you we were trying to plan a wedding in San Diego while living in Reno in 6 months time since we lost months to the first planner and didn’t have anything to show for it. Also we were planning a full Latin Catholic mads at one location and reception at a second approximately 30 minutes away. If you are on the fence as to whether you should get a planner or not I will tell you that it is WELL worth it and if you get Julie S. you’ve hit the jackpot. She truly did create The Best Wedding for us and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Expert Wedding Planning Experience

We worked with Julie for the last 3 months of our planning for our Darlington House wedding. What struck us most about Julie was her extensive experience, strong communication, and get-it-done attitude. 

We were extremely fortunate to have Julie’s experience for our wedding planning. During our walk through, Julie’s experience came through as she shared examples of previous set ups she’s done and offered instant solutions to potential problems. We could really envision each decision and felt confident that we were avoiding potential pitfalls as Julie shared her reasoning behind certain recommendations. You could also tell how strong Julie’s relationships were with the wedding vendor community - every meeting was well-run and somehow fun, despite wedding planning decision fatigue. 

Julie had strong communication throughout the planning. She would respond within a day (if not more quickly) and kept us updated when she had one or two short weekend trips to make sure everything was on track and to let us know she’d be slower for a couple of days. She also kept us on track by properly pacing out our decision points and always telling us what to start thinking about next.

During our wedding weekend, everything went like clockwork, thanks to Julie and the team quietly hustling in the background. Julie did a great job at adjusting to our guests and the flow of the evening. For example, when we realized that we were running late for family photos, Julie explained that she’d be happy to keep the doors closed for a few extra minutes or suggested taking the family photos upstairs to balance the guest experience. It was great to know Julie would always have a couple of great solutions to keep the party going! Everyone in our party remarked how easy she was to work with when things came up. We’d recommend her to all future couples!

Wonderful!

Julie was fabulous! We planned our wedding with both of us going on multiple deployments and she always made the time to meet whether over phone or email! Her expertise in the San Diego area ensured that she always had vendors to recommend at various price points so we could pick who best suited our needs within the budget. She followed our desires to the Tee, would give options and suggestions that fit within our budget, and managed all the vendors without us needing to do much more than make the decisions. Our wedding was the best day of my life and I attribute that to Julie and all the wonderful work she did! Well worth the money for all the assistance she gave— wedding planning was way less stressful than I anticipated thanks to Julie being by our side!

The name says it all

Julie was so amazing to work with! She made sure our wedding went off without a hitch and handled every issue that popped up during the day with ease. I truly could not have had a more perfect day because of her. We had such a beautiful wedding that we got to enjoy because she made sure everything ran smoothly! She was great at communicating and just over all a delight to work with. We really did have the best wedding, all thanks to her hard work the day of and leading up to it!

Julie treats all vendors with a ton of respect which makes for a good event! She is really good with details and staying on top of things that some wedding planners commonly miss. She has a great ability to see the unforeseen. In general, Julie is also amazing to be around - she is kind and warm and a pleasure to work with.

Stephina Photography Stephina Photography Wedding Photographers

working with Julie is always a great time! She's fun, organized, and has saved the day on many occasions! All her clients love her and so do we! And it's even more of a blast when she has her other half (Elite British DJ) with her as a dynamic duo husband/wife team. Clients can enjoy their day knowing they're in good hands with Julie.

The Best Wedding For You is an amazing value with a true professional at the helm! Julie not only brings organization but also great ideas and great ways to save you money on your Big Day. She is the essence of kindness, patience, and respect - very important traits in a great coordinator. We love working events with this company, as the situation is always under control...And she comes potentially with one of San Diego's best DJ's to boot!!!
